Morning everyone! Well, we have made it to the end of another week! 🥳
Well done to MM, DM, RL, ZM, HM, EH, NM and RA for making use of the Epic app this week to do some reading! 👏🏼
In addition, we have been smashing Sumdog this week! Well done to RA, ZM, MM, DM, HM, CK, CM, NM, YS, EB, EH and LB. I see all the great work you are doing so great job!
Literacy:
Today for our literacy task we will be doing some free writing! ✍🏼
Friday 15th May
Free Writing
I can plan and write a piece of writing of my choice.
Warm Up:
For your warm up today I would love it if you could all hop on to Sumdog and practise your spelling. Remember that there is a spelling challenge up this week so see if you can get a few more answers to add to your totals (congratulations to the 3 of you who have already completed it, let’s see how many correct words you end up with. DM is currently in the lead with 216 correct words but ZM and RA are not far behind on 204 and 203!).
Main Task:
As I mentioned, today you have the choice of what you would like to write; it could be a story, a letter, a diary entry, a poem, a set of instructions or a comic.
Sometimes in class when writing stories we struggle to think of an idea to start us off so here are some for you 💡 :
Alternatively, you could use Scholastic Story Starters. You simply spin the wheel and it will give you a random story starter. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/story-starters/
Remember to take some time to plan out your story, with the story mountain in mind.
Some other ideas include writing an acrostic poem, a letter to me or one of your friends, a recipe or instructions for how to play a game, a diary entry talking about your thoughts and feelings about the lockdown or about your favourite holiday and what you did.
Success Criteria
✓ Title
✓ Write in paragraphs
✓ Include a range of connectives
✓ Include a range of different types of punctuation
✓ Include a range of sentence starters
✓ Include a range of ambitious vocabulary
✓ Read my writing to check that it makes sense
Free Writing is all about having fun so just take your time and focus on making it a piece of writing that you are proud of. Happy Writing! ✏️
Extension:
Add an illustration to go along with your writing or read what you have written to someone in your house.
Additionally, today is your last chance to catch up with David Walliams ‘Fing’ chapters 24 – 37 (the end) as tomorrow the site will be updated with the chapters that he has been reading this week from ‘Bad Dad’. There is nothing more annoying than when you don’t know how a book ends so, if you have missed a couple of days, make sure to catch up whilst you still can! 📖 https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses-catch-up/
